Years later, these regular people who became viral sensations show their real faces

[post_page_title]Bad luck Brian[/post_page_title]

The person behind this famous meme isn’t called Brian but is, in fact, a young man named Kyle Craven. The photo appeared on Reddit in 2012 after Kyle’s friend thought that his portrait for the high school yearbook was funny. Someone then took the picture and edited the caption, which received over 3,000 upvotes and started the craze of Brian’s bad luck. Kyle, aka Brian, is now 28 years old and has used the fame from his viral photo to his advantage. Kyle runs a YouTube channel alongside a fan page for the photo on Facebook. He also works as a construction worker for his dad’s company that specializes in building churches.
